Today's topic discusses a piece of technology I would like to incorporate into my teaching and learning this term. This is a hard question as I am a firm believer in the curriculum driving the technology, not the technology driving the curriculum. Being a new entrant classroom our kiddies (I team teach) have been learning how to interact with technologies in the school environment this year. We have focused around using PCs to access learning through our class blog and school server, we have worked on apps on the iPads and learned to handle these carefully and share, and some of us have had the opportunity to use the camera and take photos for our class blog.
In looking forward to term 4 we are learning about citizenship, practising for our SLCs (Student Led Conferences) and creating things that move in the wind. This is our curriculum. To support this I would like the kids to video their SLC practise for reflection, to take their own photos of the art we create, and in writing I would like to use video to promote multiple sentence stories and richer vocabulary. This could be shown in short snippets so the children view and retell in parts over a week.
